Did they do a facelift of the mb6? Mines a 97 and it look no different to this one.

Think there were only slight changes, in the vti-s model. Different grill, dash cluster, interior cloth and alloys.

Aye think it was just wee things like that, the numbers on the dials are italics and thats about it! And the pre face VTiS had the speedline chronos instead of fanblades

Don't do this, it won't fit! Need to get one specifically for a B18c4/1. Skunk2 do them.



He's meaning the alloys off the facelift mb6 vti-s

No rush lol... gives you time to make the b series put out some tidy power before swapping it in ;)

BTW swap out the inlet manifold for a b16b one or a tidy aftermarket one, the c4 ones are very restrictive :p and same goes for the exhaust manifold, get one with a 2.5" collector. Coupled with a good ecu/map/chip it will transform the car :)

You would have to go aftermarket for the intake manifold,the ports on b18c4/gsr are different to most if not all b series I think mate
